Leeds Met Season End
You may be too young to remember the first lunar landing. So is Niki McCretton but ever since she was five years old she has wanted to be an astronaut.Driven by her childhood ambition Niki takes us on an epic expedition of extraordinary moments from history and her imagination covering every major advancement through space - from that first 'giant leap' to dogs in space to space tourism as the new extreme sport (now available from Space Adventures USA, if you can afford it). Personal, funny and highly physical, Niki includes her experiences of weightlessness and her training with the Russian Cosmonauts at Star City, as well as actual footage from the first tourists in space, in this spectacular show.
As well as award-winning performer Niki McCretton, Space 50 brings together an outstanding team of performers, filmmakers, musicians, writers and animators to present this milestone production. Niki McCretton is currently the Dance South West Associate for Somerset.
